Production has been halted on Nickelodeon’s hit show, Sam & Cat, over some sort of scandal involving its 21-year-old star, Jennette McCurdy (left) — previously of iCarly. Here’s what we know so far: Last month, racy photos of McCurdy wearing skimpy lingerie surfaced online after she made disparaging remarks about Detroit Pistons player Andre Drummond (who once hilariously dunked on Chris Brown) on a podcast, who she had apparently been dating.

So when McCurdy failed to appear at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards show this weekend, everyone assumed she was still in hiding over the racy Photo scandal. NOT THE CASE, said Jennette McCurdy, who tweeted the following after posting a cryptic message online:

Nickelodeon however, in a statement to the NY Daily News about why production was being halted, stated that there were no issues between the network and McCurdy:

“The photos caused no issues between McCurdy and the network, and we have the utmost respect for her,” the rep said.

“We are wrapping up what was an unusually long production cycle of ‘Sam & Cat,’ and everyone is understandably tired,” network officials said in a separate statement.

Sources also have claimed that McCurdy is embroiled in a feud with her Sam & Cat co-star Ariana Grande, who went on to beat her out for the Favorite Actress award Sunday night. TMZ on the other hand, claims to have some insight into the discontent — reporting that it’s all about the almighty dollar:

Our sources say the source of McCurdy’s dissatisfaction is rooted in her paycheck. We’re told the pint-sized star is pissed that Grande makes WAY MORE money than her and she’s been trying to renegotiate her deal … so far to no avail.

The show is one of the most popular on the network, but production has been halted and so far a second season has yet to be ordered.

So that’s probably more information than you needed on a kids show about two roommates who run a babysitting service, but there you go. If it involves racy photos and network feuds with 21-year-olds, we’re on it. Kind of like the Batman of the internet — only maybe nobler?

A hit show on Nickelodeon? What age demographic are they aiming at? I figured the only people watching Nickelodeon were pre-schoolers. Sure, I watched You Cant Do That on Television when I was in elementary school but there was no internet, xbox, or dvd/dvr back then. Who watches this crap now that is old enough to change the channel or leave the room without permission?

You honestly think in this day and age that a 16 year old high school sophomore that can drive a car is sitting in front of a tv and watching Nickelodeon? No way. I’m guessing its 3-11 year old girls with the occasional 12-14 year old boy that digs a chick on a specific show because he hasn’t been exposed to high school girls on a daily basis yet.

Yeah but I would be surprised if kids would watch just her on that show. The character is ear piercingly obnoxious. The voice is enough to make you chew through your wrist. (To be clear, her voice is not the same as her singing voice). Jeanette’s character is a sociopath but in the way kids would find hilarious.

I used to watch iCarly with my stepson (and sometimes by myself because it was FUNNY, DAMMIT!) and every time “Sam” came on the screen, my husband would say, “I really like that blonde girl. I can imagine her getting really slutty when she gets older.” Nailed it.

It used to follow Spongebob or whatever crap my kids watched, and I was too lazy to turn it off. One day I realized it was actually pretty damned funny, and while I wouldn’t seek it out (ok, maybe the finale), I didn’t not turn it off.

I know that every time Sam would do something delightfully Sam-like on screen, I would think that if I were in highschool still she’d be my dream girl.

You didn’t even put up the best one. Any person who acts on Nickelodeon needs to stop at 18. And move on with their careers. Plus I’d occasionally peep this show when kids were around and watching and you can sort of call it sometimes. But I’m really surprised with how much hotter she actually got.
